The island in our hearts buddy read group discussion

Other than V.E schwab, which author should we read?
Are there others we have in common of not having read? Probably?

I want to read Terry Pratchett, and P.G. Wodehouse

Never read any books by these authors too!

I'd like to read Leigh Bardugo and Cassandra Clare

Cri (Addictedtobookss) wrote: "I'd like to read Leigh Bardugo and Cassandra Clare"

I have read both of those, but with Mary in the group there is a precedence for rereading.

You could always use the library?

What Schwab book will we be reading first? THe only one I have is This Savage Song

We havent decided yet. it all started on a update a few hours ago so details arent clear yet.

Dont worry. I imagine we wount start it "tomorrow" we will probably a) decide on book b) some time in the future read the book. I mean there isent a real hurry. Giving people time to get the book seems reasonable.

I'd love to read more Schwab and Terry Pratchett. I'm always down for re-reading though, so I'd be happy with Bardugo and Clare too! I didn't read the Grisha trilogy or the Infernal Devices.

I've never read any Sabaa Tahir, and I have a ton of Neal Shusterman on my TBR.

Other than VE I think it would be cool to read Nevernight! It's been all over the place lately and I'm excited to read it

Yesss, me too. I have actually already read nevernight and absolutely loved it but I would be down for a reread

I’m open to try out new books & do rereads.

I’ve only read Six of crows duology by L. Bardugo: I need to read the Grisha trilogy since shes coming out with a book for Nikolai Lantsov and omfg when that news came out everyone was so hyped up and I couldn’t relate much cuz he was only on crooked kingdom for a bit. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I also wanna try out Nevernight, I’ve been meaning to but I always get so intimidated 😂

I need to read the Grisha trilogy, as well. I read the first book but I never continued on with the series for some reason. And, same, when I heard the mes about Nikolai, I had the urge to finish out the series

As for Nevernight, I was a bit intimidated as well, but it was absolutley amazing once i got into it. The writing style might bother some people, since it's quite dense, but I personally loved it.

Nevernight hasent interested me much but I might try it. I read all of Leigh Bardugo`s books, I agree with the hype the Nicolai spinoff is bound to be great. kind of fun because even though its fantasy you can clearly see the influnce of russia, and actually Sweden.

I'd like to read Nevernight and The Grisha Trilogy! They have been on my TBR since a lot of time (probably I'll read The Grisha Trilogy soon).

Well, I have read the Grisha Trilogy, but not the Six Crows Duology, so I'm down for Leigh Bardugo. I also have never read Nevernight.
Maybe one of us should do a poll with our suggestions

I've only read book one of the Grisha Trilogy I'd love to reread it before I continue the series. Never read Nevernight or sadly (whispers) Six of Crows. I'd love to read them.

Well the idea is to start with V.E Schwabe and that poll is open alredy.

I'm totally down to read Nevernight at some point! I've heard lots of good things.

The poll is up and the last chance to vote is 27th so no stress.

Guys, how is it gonna work? I think we should write it down some rules, like how many books we're gonna be reading, dates and all that boring stuff!
Can I just say how excited I am for this? AAAAAH

Hehe..Excitement is good. yes we should figure details out, but we just started the group yesterday. I think we should give it sometime before we decide everything. I do as I said, have a poll up for the first book. The deadline for that is 27th october so we start reading the book after that.
I mean around 50 people liked Joana`s post, I think we should give everyone that want to a chance to join the fun. No need to start the read days after we came up with the idea.

You're right. Let's give it some time.

Omg I’m really looking forward to this! I’ve only done a buddy read with my best friend and it was really fun (ranting, fangirling and suffering together)!! 😂

I mean if we stress with it all the fun gets sucked out of it.

I second your ideas!

So, next read (dont wqorry if you havent read this savage song yet) is something we moderators are thinking about. ( me and Lexie.)
From above seems like people are up for pratchett and bardugo. Maybe everyone can either suggest one more author or second one of those two.
Dont worry if yours doesent get picked there is always januar, and february+++

I suggest Sabaa Tahir and second Leigh Bardugo

Seconding Pratchett and Tahir!

You must read the Grisha trilogy! It's incredible!
